Description

Archipuzzle is actually a sequel of sorts to Stuffing Burr despite both puzzles being designed by different people.

Just like Stuffing Burr, Archipuzzle is an unusual burr puzzle where the goal is to assemble it instead of taking the burr apart. Furthermore, it has a catch in that it has no obvious goal shape unlike most other burrs. Instead, solvers need to figure out how to assemble the pieces in a way that every notch is filled in with another piece.

Lucie was inspired by Volker's Stuffing Burr and decided to up the ante by giving us solvers 5 pieces with 10 notches over Volker's 4 pieces with 8 notches. And as an added insult, none of her pieces are identical in shape unlike Volker's design!

Please note that I'll be busy this upcoming week, and can't promise that I will be able to immediately ship out the puzzles after the current set of auctions end. I may be delayed until next Monday the 16th before I ship out to the auction winners.

I accept and prefer using Zelle as my payment method of choice.

I accept Paypal. I prefer Friends & Family due to the IRS tax rules. But if you rather pay with Goods & Services, I will accommodate that preference.

I accept Wise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other desired payment methods.

Shipping is USPS or UPS

Buyer chooses the shipping service and shipping speed, First Class or Priority (assuming the package is under the weight limit for First Class).

Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.

Smuggler's Hold by Jesse Born

When it comes to Jesse's puzzles, Smuggler's Hold is a nice compact one which makes carrying it around easy so I can show it off to friends and family without much worry about it being too big or delicate to share! It looks incredible as if it's an actual smuggling pirate's artifact and is deceptive in how much puzzling it can hide away in such a tiny space!I wouldn't consider it the best of Jesse's work, but that's because he's got so many utterly astonishingly incredible puzzles which overshad...

Tenchi by Frederic Boucher

Tenchi is a fun little assembly puzzle that Cubic Dissection made from Fredric's design. It's an "anti-slide" puzzle where all of the pieces have to put into the square and positioned around the single cube notch in a way that none of the pieces can slide right back out of the square on either end. It sounds impossible, but I promise that it's very doable even if you have never tried this style of puzzling before.If it ends up being too confusing or demanding to fully solve, I have a solution Bu...

Matchbox Playground by Péter Gál

Does anyone remembers Oskar's Matchboxes? The solver had 5 matchboxes with a square shell and a box attached to it at different spots from piece to piece, and then they had to be put them together so all 5 boxes would fit inside another matchbox. It was a very interesting puzzle with 4 cavities to store small items inside and people had fun finding multiple ways to put the boxes together. It was fairly popular and not the only one of it's type! Matchbox Play Six by Olexandre Kapkan upped the cou...

Simple Lock 1 by Ben

Simple Lock was the first puzzle Ben ever released, and he knocked it out of the park!People found it hard, but raved about it so much after solving it. It's a very high quality lock puzzle in craftsmanship and ingenuity of the mechanisms. There's even a lovely panel on the back solvers can take off to see how it all worked inside too! I thought of it as a more toned down version of a Popplock. It's not as big or heavy, but the solve and high-precision machining is on the same level! Who wouldn'...
